Airpril continues as we strap on our parachutes and take the ultimate plunge as we watch the 1994 Wesley Snipes skydiving action thriller, Drop Zone.

On the third episode of Airpril, U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip is out for revenge for the death of his partner and brother by crazed former DEA Agent Ty Moncrief. But in order to fulfill his vengeance, he’ll have to take to the skies and master the most extreme sport of all in John Badham’s skydiving action thrillride Drop Zone.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this jump are fellow cinephiles and extreme sports fans Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that could be described as “aggressively 90s”; Wesley Snipes can’t decide if his character is John Wick or the comic relief; and finally, Ryan’s journey with this film comes full circle as he regales us with his tale of staying in “The Drop Zone Room” at Las Vegas’s Planet Hollywood.

That will do it for this leg of our Airpril flight through 90’s airborne action. When we return, we’ll be making our final descent as we watch the other skydiving movie of 1994 with the Charlie Sheen neo-noir action flick, Terminal Velocity.
